I hope this is the right section for advice. Due to menopause, thyroid, and weight changes my hair is very thin and whispy. I'm lookin for advice about wigs and toppers. Im wanting to buzz cut my hair for a reset but use a wig while it grows back. Where can I go? The ones I see online are lovely but more for younger people. Any advice welcome xx

I’d look for a local salon where you can try things on to find out what works for you. Toppers come with many different shapes that clip to your hair and some will be a better fit than others. I’m lucky that I get my toppers on prescription from a dermatologist and as I’m in Scotland don’t pay for prescriptions. I’d definitely recommend a topper over a wig if you still have enough natural hair to attach it to as it’s cooler and less obvious. Good luck in finding something that works for you.
